Unauthorised Access: A Pure Darkness Chronicle

The system was never designed to keep them out. Only to keep them contained.George Easthope-Wallace came to the village to rebuild his life.A quiet place. A small antiques shop. A chance to begin again.The mirror was already there.No one remembers when it first appeared. Only that it had always seemed to belong. Some recall it hanging in the old tearoom. Others are certain it once stood in The Sun Inn. No one can say how it moved - or why it remained.At first, nothing seems wrong.Then the reflections begin to hesitate.Movements appear where none should exist. Expressions linger a fraction too long. And the sense of being watched becomes impossible to ignore.But whatever is watching is not confined to the glass.Across the world, systems begin to behave... differently. Messages appear without origin. Decisions are made without instruction. Networks carry signals no one can trace.Something has not arrived.It has been waiting.As the boundary between worlds begins to thin, George is drawn into a conflict far older than civilisation - a war between order and chaos, now unfolding through the very systems humanity depends upon to survive.And the mirror was never the cause.It is the interface.
